A stunning gay bartender at the Atlas in his 20s, David shares the title of “lead” with bartender Stacey Becker and works primarily at the Atlas’s gay events. He befriends Kelvin during his first days at the Atlas and defends him when gay customers blame Kelvin and Beau for Scion mishaps caused by SCEND. David privately considers himself bisexual but finds it easier to accept being labeled gay because of his appearance. He also works as an athletic trainer and has been very successful helping men transform themselves; he is patient and empathetic, having been an overweight teenager himself.

His Via-based latent fire instills confidence and mental health, an attribute usually associated with Continuance energy, particularly green auroras. April and Montegarr suspect his fire releases pheromones that chemically react with the human brain. Discovering the nature of these pheromones could be key to understanding how SCEND works.

He works in short, square-cut shorts, shirtless, showing off his ripped, perfectly symmetrical body. His friendly smile draws women and gay men in droves; straight men charm up to him for his draw with girls; lesbians don’t like him and complain if he bartends an all-girl event. David sports intensely bronzed, deeply sun-kissed, over-hydrated skin. His physique is stripped down to a razor-sharp 5% body fat, revealing a profoundly shredded, vascular anatomy of a body with a taut 29-inch waist, highly pronounced abdominal walls, and paper-thin skin texture brought on by extreme training and diuretics. His facial features are lean and angular, emphasizing his striking, ice-blue eyes against his tan, a sharp jawline, and a chiseled, symmetrical bone structure. Completing this quintessential lifesaver look is a modern, textured beach undercut, featuring faded, short sides with long, sun-bleached golden-blonde highlights on top, styled with a gritty, sea-salt texture that falls into a messy, slicked-back surfer look.
